Clinton hits Romney over auto ad in Ohio

PERRYSBURG, Ohio — Former President Bill Clinton is piling on Mitt Romney over campaign ads that claim General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of Ohio.

Clinton is campaigning across the all-important state of Ohio Thursday for President Barack Obama. Clinton's first stop came just outside Toledo where Chrysler operates two factories and plans to add 1,100 jobs at its assembly plant.

Romney's presidential campaign has fought back against criticism from Democrats and the automakers, arguing that the ads are accurate.

Clinton says Romney's response has been to pour money into ads that he knows are false.

The ads repeat a version of Romney's claim at a rally in Ohio last week that Chrysler is moving Jeep production to China. Chrysler insists that no jobs are being moved.
